Because of the holes, pegboard does let some air and light in, but I decided to cut out the window opening so that I could operate it.<\/p>\n<p>You could carefully measure the opening, cut a big section out of your pegboard panel, and then install it. But, because this opening would make my pegboard panel into a giant &#8220;C&#8221; shape, it would make installing it by myself excessively difficult. (Also, you have to measure and cut very accurately.)<\/p>\n<p>I found it much easier to just install the full panel and then cut out the opening. I&#8217;m using a trim router with a following bit. After I cut out along the top, I hung it up with wire so that the panel I was cutting out wouldn&#8217;t fall down later on.<\/p>\n<p>And then I cut out the other two sides.  The downside of this technique is of course the copious amounts of hardboard sawdust, which does require a shopvac to clean up.<br \/>\nAnd of course, depending upon how you install the pegboard your cutouts may go through a series of holes. But, the edges are very close to the edge of your framing members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have this window in the wall I&#8217;m putting pegboard up on.
